General Discussion

I got Chronicles on my wii and I have never had so much fun playing a video game since Legend of the Guardians (I love that game because of free-flying mode but that's the only good thing about it)

But man, Xenoblade, I've been playing it nonstop for the past three days, just roaming around is the greatest feeling (along with sneaking up on enemies to hit them with BACKSLASH hehehe)

But yeah someone please talk to me about it, tell me ridiculous experiences and such I'm all ears for silly stories and I've got a few of my own to share if anyone wants to hear them :0

@TheGrimleal

I love Xeno, it's easily my favorite Wii game, and might be my favorite game overall.

I'd talk more but I'm a bit busy at the moment, I'll be back.

@Inugami *yells* Quest icons omh, I keep a sharp eye on my map but I get really disoriented really fast and "oh the quest icon is right there" and I spend 5 minutes spinning my camera around trying to find it :00
I tend to rely on the map a LOT but I'm starting to get good at memorizing places and where I need to go because the landscapes vary so much and its actually easier to remember :0 "where am I? Oh there's the big rock ok I know where I'm at"

I'm 8 levels overleveled right now because I tackle every quest I can find + I love sneaking up on things and using BACKSLASS so I end up level grinding a lot =v=

Also affinity omh by the time I got to Sharla, Shulk and Reyn had purple affinity, and by the time I left Bionis' Leg they were maxed out like guys pls stop hogging all the affinity to yourselves omg

@TheGrimleal

Let's see what I can get in right now:

Anyways. It sounds like you just started the game? (As in within the first 10 or so hours of story)

It wasn't until about 75% of the way through the game that I absolutely fell in love with it. I liked it before then, I just didn't really feel like it was anything spectacular.

It's hard for me to talk about my favorite parts without knowing how far you are into the game, for spoiler's sake.

@AtheistPaladin I'm at Eryth Sea in the game right now (I've been playing 3 days straight, although I did have to redo 5 hours since it froze up and died =v="" I learned my lesson to save frequently. ) , but since I have a habit of watching lets plays before buying the game (to make sure I won't chicken out half way like I did in Okami, I stayed out of the sunken ship and accumulated 500 gameplay hours without getting past it hahahah....) I know the story up to when you're in the Bionis when its alive again :0
So far I've loved every second of it, especially jumping around and jumping off cliffs. (I'm used to Zelda and FFXII so jumping got me so hyped up)
I can't determine what my favorite thing is yet, but so far I spend so many hours in the northern parts of Bionis' leg sneaking past those level 70's and jumping into the lake when they actually see me.

@Skjaldmeya omg I haven't seen Dunban jump off any bridges but one time while climbing Reyn shoved me off and I almost died :'^) I love how they jump off randomly while climbing.
While fighting that one unique monster (I don't remember the name it was that really mean lizard dude) during the Giant quest in Satohl I went to lure it out of the temple and it oneshots Dunban, Reyn falls off the cliff and DIES, and I yell lots and run away.

@Skjaldmeya after battles most of the time AI decides to make characters RUN EVERYWHERE and at the splintered path everyone kept falling off after battles (and I have to say the greatest sight was my team getting knocked off several times by the Lazy Hox, painful but hilarious)
